Introducing
Green Power Switch
Generation Partners™

TVA and participating distributors of TVA power are
now offering Green Power
Switch Generation Partners™. The program, a dual metering option
for residential
and small commercial consumers, offers a credit, applied to a participant’s
electric
bill, for the generation of green power. TVA will purchase the entire
output of a qualifying
installation as a Green Power Switch resource through a participating
power distributor.

The GPS Generation Partners program is basically structured as follows.
A residential or
small commercial consumer installs a qualifying generation source,
TVA purchases the
entire output of the system, and the consumer receives a credit on
their monthly bill for
the energy generated. Currently, qualifying generation sources for
the program are photovoltaic
and wind turbine systems with a minimum output of 500 watts of alternating
current and a maximum of 50 kilowatts. Qualifying systems must be
used primarily to
provide all or part of the energy needs at a particular site and must
not have previously
generated into the grid. Installations must also comply with local
codes and adhere to
specific interface guidelines established by the program.

Several seminars on grid-connected solar and wind power are being conducted
around the
Valley. Topics include program structure, qualifying systems, installation
requirements and financial
incentives. The seminars are free, half-day sessions conducted by TVA,
your local power
distributor and a representative from the Florida Solar Energy Center
(www.fsec.ucf.edu).
